Another sweet idea for a low-fat muffin.

Ingredients:

2 cup self-raising flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp bicarbonate soda

1/2 cup oat bran

1 cup apple sauce

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 cup skim milk

1/3 cup maple syrup

3/4 cup dried apples, chopped

1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

1/4 cup raw sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

1 Tbsp canola oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to moderate 180°C.
Prepare a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin papers.

Sift flour, baking powder and soda in a medium bowl.
Stir through oat bran. Make well in centre.

Using a large table fork, stir in combined apple sauce, oil, egg, skim milk, maple syrup, apples, walnuts, raw sugar and cinnamon until the mixture is just combined.

Spoon mixture into prepared tin. Bake 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (use the Toothpick Test).

Stand 5 minutes before turning muffins onto wire rack to cool.
